Overview
- Hansa Rostock was penalized €135,000 by the DFB for pyrotechnic use, fan violence and a 27-minute delay during their February home match against Dynamo Dresden.
- The ruling allows the club to allocate €45,000 of the fine toward security or violence prevention measures to be documented by December 31, 2025.
- A one-year probation suspends an order to hold two upcoming 3. Liga home games under partial spectator exclusion unless further misconduct occurs.
- Dynamo Dresden is under investigation by the DFB control committee for its fans’ role in the disturbances at the Ostseestadion, with a decision forthcoming.
- This measure follows the DFB’s wider campaign to tighten stadium safety after similar pyrotechnic-related fines against Bundesliga clubs such as 1. FC Köln and Bayer Leverkusen.
